Hello everybody!
As a lot of people has been asking us about the album since we came back from Wales, here's a little update.
Recording with Romesh and Rob was a great experience and the mixes of the songs we've heard so far sound incredibly good. Romesh is currently finishing the mixing and once he finishes the album will be mastered.
Once the album is in our hands we will start looking for a label to release our music in Spain, The UK and everywhere else we can. We still don't know exactly how much we will have to wait to have it, but as soon as we do we will give you a little "preview" of how the new songs sound.
All bands say the same, but trust me, this album includes the best songs we have ever written, light years away from any of our previous ones.
We can't wait until you can hear it and we're also looking forward to start playing live again as soon as possible! Meanwhile, keep an eye on our MySpace and Facebook profiles as we will be uploading new pictures, videos and making some changes.
We will be back really soon!
Roberto
CASTELLANO:
¡Hola a todos!
Ya que desde que
hemos vuelto de Gales mucha gente nos ha preguntado por el disco,
aquí tenéis una pequeña puesta al día.
Grabar con Romesh y
Rob fue una gran experiencia y las mezclas de los temas que hemos
oído hasta ahora suenan increíblemente bien. En estos momentos
Romesh está terminando de mezclar el disco, y una vez haya terminado
será masterizado.
Cuando el disco esté en nuestras manos
empezaremos a buscar sello para poder editarlo en España, Reino
Unido y en todos los sitios que podamos. Aun no sabemos exactamente
cuanto tiempo tendremos que esperar para tenerlo, pero en cuanto eso
pase subiremos un pequeño adelanto para que os vayáis haciendo una
idea de como suenan las nuevas canciones.
Todos los grupos dicen lo mismo, pero os puedo asegurar de que
el disco incluye los mejores temas que hemos compuesto jamás, a años
luz de cualquiera de nuestras anteriores canciones.
¡Tenemos
muchísimas ganas de que lo escuchéis y de volver a los escenarios lo antes posible! De momento estad atentos a nuestro MySpace y Facebook
ya que iremos subiendo algunos videos, fotos y haciendo algunos
cambios.
¡Volveremos muy pronto!
Nos vemos,
Roberto

30/08/2009
El domingo a las 5 de la mañana (Javi y yo ni siquiera nos acostamos)
salimos hacia Barcelona, una vez en el aeropuerto hicimos el check in de
forma sorprendentemente rápida, estuvimos un rato descansando, cogimos nuestro avión (el cual llegó a tiempo) y llegamos
a Bristol. Una vez allí nos pegamos una buena comida británica en
un pub, todo buenísimo y más barato que en España. Después cogimos
nuestro tren hacia Cardiff, el cual también llegó a tiempo.
No nos lo podíamos creer, hasta aquí todo había salido bien, nunca en
la historia del grupo algo había ido tan bien. De hecho, todo estaba yendo
demasiado bien. Tendríamos que haber escuchado a Oscar, quien ya
llevaba rato diciendo "Esto no puede ser, algo malo va a pasar." Y tan
malo...
Al llegar a Cardiff empezamos a llamar al dueño de la casa que íbamos a alquilar, quien no
cogía el teléfono. Después de pasar más de una hora en la estación
central decidimos coger un taxi para plantarnos delante de la casa y
esperar allí, todo esto bajo la lluvia. Al llegar a la casa en la que
se suponía que teníamos que vivir seguimos llamando al dueño, quien
seguía sin contestar, así que, como llovía y hacía frío, decidimos
meternos en un bar. Un bar en el que fueron muy majos, ya que nos
dejaron estar allí casi 4 horas, pero en el que no paraban de poner
Reggae del malo (¿Hay Reggae bueno?).
Por fin logramos contactar con el dueño, quien nos dijo que se había
tenido que ir al extranjero debido a una emergencia. Al buen rato
(tened en cuenta que llevabamos 5 horas esperandoles) se presentaron
dos mujeres con un supuesto amigo del dueño de la casa, quien tenía las
llaves. Podría hacerlo muy largo, pero voy a ser breve: entramos en la
casa, estaba todo desordenado, sucio y sin ducha ni agua caliente así
que mandamos a la mierda a la supuesta familia del dueño y nos fuimos a
dormir a un albergue.
Conclusión:
nos habíamos ido de casa con toda la ilusión del mundo y todo preparado
desde hace meses y de repente nos encontramos con maletones de
tropecientosmil kilos sin un sitio donde vivir y con un disco que
grabar...
-Roberto
31/08/09
Nos despertamos en el albergue, donde todos durmieron bien menos yo porque compartíamos habitación con unos vikingos que llegaron a las 3 de la mañana y me jodieron la noche. Cogimos nuestras pesadas maletas y llamamos a un taxi para que nos llevara a los estudios Longwave. El taxista me aseguró que estuviera tranquilo ya que llevaba 24 años haciendo su trabajo y sabía lo que hacía. Por lo visto, 24 años no le habían servido para aprender a leer direcciones, ya que tardó mil millones de años en encontrar los estudios.
Una vez allí nos encontramos con Rob, quien trabaja de ingeniero en los estudios y estará con nosotros durante toda la grabación y con Romesh, nuestro productor. Después de habernos enseñado sus impresionantes estudios nos dirigimos a unos local de ensayo que Romesh había alquilado para que hiciéramos pre-producción.
Estuvimos todo el día el tocando nuestras canciones para que Romesh pudiera familiarizarse con ellas. Acabamos hechos polvo ya que no comimos absolutamente nada en todo el día y la noche anterior no habíamos dormido nada bien. Por la noche, Dani, Javi y yo nos metimos en un albergue super barato pero bastante decente que nos consiguió Romesh. Oscar decidió quedarse a dormir en el albergue de la noche anterior ya que, por lo visto, le había gustado mucho el desayuno. Decidimos acompañarle y así cenar juntos. Compramos unos sandwiches en el único sitio que quedaba abierto en todo Cardiff y nos los comimos en una parada de autobús muertos de frío.
Seguíamos buscando casa y gastando mucho más dinero del que teníamos pensado. En fin, lo de siempre.
-Roberto
01/09/09
Nos despertamos pronto y fuimos todos al estudio para grabar algunas pistas guía (de voz, guitarra y bajo) simplemente para tener alguna referencia a la hora de grabar la batería. Estuvimos allí todo el día y al final de la tarde Rob me acompañó a una tienda da baterías a comprarme unas baquetas mientras Oscar grababa sus pistas de voz.
Al llegar a la tienda, me fijé que en la estantería había un premio de la MTV. Al salir de la tienda le pregunté a Rob si sabía porque ese premio estaba allí y me contó que el batería de Red Hot Chili Peppers se lo había regalado al dueño ya que eran grandes amigos y que era habitual que tanto el como Travis Barker visitaran la tienda en sus visitas a Cardiff.
Al volver al estudio sólo estaban Oscar y Romesh ya que Javi y Dani habían ido a ver una casa. Oscar y yo compramos algo de Sushi muy barato y nos los comimos a la entrada del supermercado. Después, se nos ocurrió la brillante idea de ir andando desde el estudio al albergue, sin tener ni puta idea de donde estábamos. Javi y Dani cogieron un taxi y llegaron en pocos minutos. Nosotros acabamos andando varios kilómetros cargados de equipaje. EPIC FAIL.
Después de cenar Javi y yo quedamos con Romesh y sus amigos para tomar algo en el Barfly, donde era noche de los 90. Estuvo muy bien, pero nos fuimos pronto a dormir, ya que el día siguiente empezaría a grabar las baterías en los Modern World Studios, a una hora y media de Cardiff.
Nuestra suerte estaba a punto de cambiar...
-Roberto
02/09/09
Después de encontrarnos con Oscar, quien había vuelto a dormir por tercera vez en el mismo albergue, nos dirigimos al estudio de Romesh. Allí nos encontramos con Tom (un chico muy majo que toca y canta en Straight Lines) quien nos esperaba con su furgoneta. Al llegar Rob y Romesh cargamos la furgoneta (con una batería increíble y muchísimas cosas más) y nos dirigimos hacia los Modern World Studios para grabar las baterías.
Una vez allí nos encontramos con Michael, quien nos haría de ingeniero. Nos enseñó los estudios y ninguno de nosotros se lo podía creer. No voy a estar horas escribiendo, simplemente meteros en la web y haced click en el apartado "Chill Out". Bueno, mejor haced click en todos los apartados.
Aquí, el resto del grupo y yo tomamos caminos distintos: yo empecé a grabar baterías mientras los demás se divertían sin parar. Eso si, la batería de Romesh sonaba increíble.
¡Por fin algo bueno estaba pasando!
-Roberto
03/09/09
Después de haber descansado de forma correcta por primera vez desde que llegamos a Gales (la casa en la que nos alojamos durante nuestra estancia en los Modern World Studios era impresionante) fuimos al estudio, y la verdad es que no tengo mucho más que decir: yo me pasé el día entero grabando mientras los demás jugaban con videojuegos y seguían buscando casa por internet.
Era el segundo día, y ya me había cargado 6 baquetas. Nunca había tocado una batería tan buena en un sitio que sonara tan bien.
Volvimos a la casa, vimos unos DVD's de American Dad que había traído Romesh y nos fuimos todos a dormir.
-Roberto
04/09/09
Me desperté pronto junto a Romesh y a Rob y fuimos al estudio mientras los demás se quedaron durmiendo unas horas más (no les culpo, era lo único que podían hacer además de jugar con todas las consolas del mundo).
Estuve una cuantas horas grabando y cuando por fin oí la voz de Romesh diciendome "Drums are done!" por los auriculares no pude evitar sentir un gran alivio: la grabación de las baterías de nuestro disco había sido una experiencia increíble pero también agotadora, ya que Romesh (que por lo visto sabe algo sobre grabación de baterías) quería que tocara cada golpe como si mi vida dependiera de ello. Y tenía toda la razón, ya que los resultados son increíbles.
Recogimos todas nuestras cosas y al cabo de un rato Tom vino a recogernos. Nos despedimos del Michael, quien se había portado de maravilla, haciendonos sentir mejor que en casa (más que nada porque ninguno de nosotros vive en una mansión de lujo) durante 3 días y volvimos a Cardiff.
¡Por fin nos dirigíamos hacia la que sería nuestra casa durante el resto del mes!
- Roberto
05/09/09 - 06/09/09
Por suerte, nuestro primer fin de semana en Cardiff empezaba en nuestra nueva casa, la cual está situada en las afueras de la ciudad, en un bonito barrio residencial. Lo mejor de todo fue descubrir que tenemos un Tesco (cadena de supermercados británica donde puedes comprar absolutamente de todo) al lado que abre las 24 horas.
No hay mucho que contar sobre estos dos días. Dani, Oscar y Javi los pasaron descansando, comprando comida/cosas que necesitábamos en casa y viendo la ciudad. Yo aproveché para pasar el fin de semana con mi novia, que vino a visitarme desde Londres y descubrir que con las porciones que ponen en el Hard Rock Café podrían alimentar leones.
-Roberto
07/09/09
Mientras yo me quedaba durmiendo (me lo merecía!) Javi, Oscar y Dani se despertaron para ir a los Longwave Studios, donde Dani empezaría a grabar sus partes de bajo. Rob y Oscar fueron a comprar cuerdas nuevas mientras Javi, Dani y Romesh se quedaron en el estudio.Al volver, empezaron a grabar.
Yo pasé el día descansando un poco más y explorando el barrio y descubrí que a parte de Tesco y un gimnasio increíble, no había absolutamente nada más. Ah, y también descubrí que los conductores de autobús son unos vagos, ya que sólo puedes pagar el precio exacto del viaje debido a que no dan cambio. Por lo menos son puntuales.
-Roberto
08/09/09
Oscar y Dani se despertaron pronto para ir al estudio, mientras que Javi y yo decidimos ir un poco más tarde. Al llegar, preparé algo de café, Romesh lo probó, le gustó mucho y decidió que a partir de entonces tendría que ser yo quien lo preparara, incluso me amenazó con tirarme del estudio si no lo hacía. Bueno, casi. Dani terminó de grabar los bajos, dejandonos a los dos sin nada que hacer durante unos cuantos días mientras Oscar y Javi grababan guitarras.
Por la noche, Javi, Oscar y yo volvimos al Barfly donde nos encontramos con Romesh, Rob y algunos de sus amigos. Bebimos algo más de la cuenta, escuchamos temazos de los 90, cogimos un taxi y nos volvimos a casa. A punto de llegar, nuestro taxista nos dijo "chico, mirad eso". Delante nuestro había dos chicas y un chico, todos en ropa interior, corriendo por la calle. Un martes por la noche. En un barrio aparentemente tranquilo.
Bajamos del taxi y mientras caminábamos hacia casa, nos vieron. Una de las chicas empezó a correr hacia nosotros y se le subió encima a Oscar, el único que, por lo visto, no la había visto venir. Nos fuimos a casa corriendo, nos encerramos y avisamos a Dani de que apagara las luces ya que dichos personajes andaban sueltos. Que miedo.

ENGLISH:
30/08/09
At
5 AM on Sunday (Javi and I didn't even go to sleep) we left for
Barcelona, once at the airport we checked our luggage in surprisingly
fast, we had some rest, we took our plane (which was on time) and we
got to Bristol. Once in Bristol we had an amazing pub lunch, everything
was delicious and way cheaper than in Spain. Then, we took our train to
Cardiff, which was also on time.
We couldn't believe it,
everything was going well, nothing had ever gone so well in the history
of the band. In fact, it was actually going too well. We should have
listened to Oscar, who had been saying " I can't believe this,
something bad is going to happen" for a while...
Once we got to
Cardiff we started calling the landlord, who didn't pick up the phone.
After more than one hour at the central station we decided to take a
taxi to the house and just wait there, all of this under the rain. Once
we got to the house in which we were supposed to live we kept on
calling the landlord, who was still not answering. As it was cold and
raining, we decided to enter a bar. A bar where everyone was very nice,
as they let us stay there for more than 4 hours, but where they kept on
playing really bad Reggae (is there any good Reggae?)
We finally
contacted the landlord, who said he had to go abroad because of an
emergency. After a while (keep in mind we had been waiting for 5 hours)
two women and a man, who was the landlord's friend who had the keys,
turned up. I could make this very long but I'll keep it short: we went
inside, everything was a mess, extremely dirty, without showers or hot
water, so we told the landlord's supposed family to fuck off and we
went to a hostel.
And here's our conclusion: we had left home
with lots of hope, having prepared everything months ago, and we
suddenly found ourselves with suitcases that weigh a gazillion kilos,
no place to live and an album to record...
-Roberto31/08/09
We woke up at the hostel,where everyone slept very well except for me, due to the fact that we shared a room with a bunch of vikings who came at 3 AM and fucked my night. We took our heavy luggage and called a taxi to take us to Longwave Studios. The taxi driver told me not to worry, as he had been doing his job for 24 years and he certainly knew what he was doing. Apparently, 24 years weren't enough time for him to learn how to read addresses, as it took him a billion years to find the studios.
Once there we met Rob, who works at the studios as an engineer and will be with us throughout the recording process and Romesh, our producer.
After showing us his impressive studios we headed to a rehearsal space that Romesh had rented to do some pre-production.We spent the whole day there playing our songs for Romesh so he could get familiar with them. By the end of it, we were all completely dead as we hadn't eaten anything all day. At night, Dani, Javi and me went to a really cheap hostel that Romesh found for us. Oscar decided to sleep in the hostel where we stayed the night before because, apparently, he really liked the breakfast there. We decided to go to the hostel with him so we could have dinner together. We bought some sandwiches at the only supermarket that was still open in Cardiff and ate them at a bus stop in the cold.
We were still looking for a house and still spending way more money than we had planned. Well, just like always.
-Roberto
01/09/09
We woke up early and we went to the studio to record some guide tracks (vocals, guitars and bass) just as an aid for the recording of the drums. We stayed there all day and at the end of the afternoon Rob took me to a drum shop to buy some drumsticks while Oscar was recording his vocal parts.
Once there, I noticed there was an MTV award on one of the shelves. While leaving the store, I asked Rob if he knew why that award was there and he told me that the drummer from Red Hot Chili Peppers had given it to the owner of the store because they were great friends and that it was usual for him and Travis Barker to visit the store while in Cardiff.
We went back to the studio where Oscar and Romesh were, as Javi and Dani had gone to see a house. Oscar and I bought some cheap Sushi and ate it at the supermarket's entrance. Later, we had the brilliant idea of walking from the studio to the hostel, without having a fucking clue about where we actually were. Javi and Dani took a taxi and got there in a matter of minutes. We ended up walking for miles with all our luggage. EPIC FAIL.
After dinner, Javi and I went to The Barfly -where it was 90's night- to have a drink with Romesh and some of his friends. It was great but we left early as the next day I woud start recording drums at Modern World Studios, about and hour and a half away from Cardiff.
Our luck was about to change... - Roberto02/09/09
After meeting Oscar -who, for the third time, had
slept in the same hostel, we went to Romesh's studio. There we met Tom (a very nice guy who plays and sings in Straight Lines) who was waiting for us with his van.After Rob and Romesh came we started loading up the van (with an incredible drum kit and lots of other stuff) and we went to
Modern World
Studios to record drums.
Once there we met Michael, our engineer. He showed us the studios and none of us could believe it. I'm not going to spend hours writing, just go to the website and click on "Chill Out". Well, actually, click on everything.
There, the rest of the band and I took different ways: I started recording drums while they had non-stop fun. That said, Romesh's drum kit was sounding incredible.
Something good was finally happening!
-Roberto
03/09/09
After having a proper sleep for the first time since we had been in Wales (the house we stayed at during our time at Modern World Studios was truly impressive) we went to the studio, and the truth is that I don't have much more to say: I spent the whole day recording while the guys played video games and kept on looking for a house on the internet.
It was only the second day, and I had already destroyed six drumsticks.I had never played such a great drum kit in a place that sounded that good before.
We went back to the house, watched some American Dad DVD's that Romesh had brought and then we all went to bed.
-Roberto04/09/09
I woke up, together with Romesh and Rob, and we went to the studio while the others preferred to sleep for a few more hours (I don't blame them, it was the only thing they could do besides playing every video game system in the world).
I spent a few hours recording and when I finally heard Romesh's voice telling me "Drums are done!" through the headphones I couldn't help but to feel a great relief: the recording of the drums on our album had been an incredible experience but also an exhausting one, as Romesh (who apparently knows something about recording drums) wanted me to play as if my life depended on it. And he was right, the results are incredible.
We packed up our things and after a while Tom came to pick us up.We said goodbye to Michael, who had treated us really well, making us feel better than at home (mainly because none of us lives in a luxury mansion) for 3 days, and we drove back to Cardiff.
We were finally on our way to what would be our house for the rest of the month!- Roberto05/09/09 - 06/09/09
Luckily,our first weekend in Cardiff started in our new house,which is located on the outskirts of the city, in a nice residential neighbourhood.The best part was discovering that we had a 24 hours Tesco near.
There's not much to tell about these two days. Dani, Oscar and Javi spent them resting, buying food/stuff we needed and visiting the city. I took advantage of the weekend and spent it with my girlfriend, who came to see me from London and I also discovered that with the portions they serve at Hard Rock Café they could feed lions.
-Roberto
07/09/09
While I stayed home sleeping (I deserved it!) Javi, Oscar and Dani woke up to go to Longwave Studios, where Dani would start to record his bass parts. Rob and Oscar went to buy some new strings while Javi, Dani and Romesh waited for them at the studio.When they came back, they started recording.
I spent the day resting some more and exploring our neighbourhood, discovering that, apart from Tesco and and incredible gym, there was absolutely nothing else. Oh, and I also discovered that bus drivers are very lazy, as you can only pay the exact fare due to the fact that they don't give any change. At least they're punctual.
-Roberto
08/09/09
Oscar and Dani woke up early and went to the studio, while Javi and I decided to reach them a bit later. Once we got there I made some coffe, Romesh tried it, liked it a lot and decided that from that moment I would have to be the one to make it every day.He even threatened to throw me out of the studio if I didn't.Well, almost.
Dani finished recording his bass parts, leaving us both with nothing to do for a few days while Oscar and Javi recorded guitars.
That night, Javi, Oscar and I went back to The Barfly, where we met Romesh, Rob and some of their friends. We drank a bit too much, listened to 90's hits, took a taxi and came back home. When we were about to get there our driver said "guys, check this out". A guy and two girls were in front of us, all in their underwear, running in the street.On a Tuesday night.In an apparently quiet neighbourhood.
We got out of the taxi and while we walked home, they saw us. One of the girls started running towards us and got on Oscar, he only one who, apparently, hadn't see her coming. We went home running, closed the doors and told Dani to turn the lights off as these characters were still around. Scary stuff.

How are you all doing? It has been ages since the last update so it was about time I wrote something.
We have been (and still are) writing our debut album and we're really happy with how the songs are coming together. I know, we've been writing music for a year now, but I promise it will be worth the wait.
At first we wanted Oscar to record our album but right now he is doing a million things at the same time and doing it would probably make his head explode, so we thought it would be better for him to concentrate on making music.
And here's the good news: we will be recording our album with Romesh Dodangoda in Cardiff, Wales. Romesh is an amazing producer who has worked with bands like Funeral For A Friend, Bullet For My Valentine, Kids In Glass Houses, Glassjaw,The Blackout, Manic Street Preachers and lots more.
Check out Funeral For A Friend 's "Memory And Humanity" or Kids In Glass Houses' "Smart Casual" to hear some of his latest work.
We will be spending the whole month of September at Longwave Studios recording th best album we can make. We are really excited about working with Romesh and we can't wait until you hear the results!
We still have a few months ahead before we start recording, we will spend this time working on our songs and making them as perfect as they can be.
That's it for now, hope you're all doing well. Oh! And remember, you can now follow us on Twitter

ESPAÑOL:
¿Como estáis todos? Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que puse esto al día así que ya era hora de que escribiera algo.
Hemos estado (y seguimos) componiendo nuestro primer disco y estamos muy felices con como están quedando las canciones. Lo sé, ya llevamos un año componiendo, pero os prometo que la espera valdrá la pena.
En un principio queríamos que Oscar grabara nuestro disco pero en este momento está haciendo un millón de cosas a la vez y grabar probablemente haría que le explotara la cabeza así que hemos pensado que lo mejor es que se concentre en componer.
Y aquí vienen las buenas noticias: vamos a grabar nuestro disco con Romesh Dodangoda en Cardiff, Gales.Romesh es un gran productor que ha trabajado con grupos como Funeral For A Friend, Bullet For My Valentine, Kids In Glass Houses,
Glassjaw,The Blackout, Manic Street Preachers y muchos más.
Escuchad "Memory And Humanity" de Funeral For A Friend o "Smart Casual" de Kids In Glass Houses para oir muestras de sus trabajos más recientes.
Pasaremos el mes de septiembre en los estudios Longwave grabando el mejor disco que podamos. Estamos muy contentos de poder trabajar con Romesh y no podemos esperar a que oigáis los resultados!
Aun tenemos unos meses por delante antes de empezar a grabar, tiempo que pasaremos trabajando en nuestras canciones para que sean lo más perfectas posibles.
Es todo por ahora, espero que tod@s estéis bien! Ah y recordad que ahora podeis seguirnos en Twitter

Hi!
Ok,we know it has been a really long time since we updated this properly but we will try and make up for it with LOTS of news:
-First of all, we want everyone to know that Dani is back in the band! After moving back to Spain to write our new album we realized we needed to have a bass player that could write and rehearse with us every day. It was impossible for Nik to do it due to him being in the UK, so we asked Dani if he wanted to write an album with us and he said YES!
We're really excited about this! That said,we also wish Nik the best of luck with all of his future projects and we want to thank him a lot for helping us out.
-To celebrate the fact that Dani is back in Day Of Rising ALL the songs our player are available for you to download FOR FREE...so grab them now!
-We're still writing our album which we really hope to release before the end of the year. We think that the songs we have right now are the best we've ever written and we hope you'll think the same once you hear them.
-We will not be touring the UK or Spain properly while we're writing the album because we really want to concentrate on that. We will, however, play some shows around Spain. We've already been confirmed for Festimad and Universimad and we have a couple more summer dates up in the air which we hope to confirm soon. Once the album is released, we will tour Spain, the UK and hopefully some new places in Europe!
-As you have probably noticed, we're currently uploading new pictures. They were taken by the really talented Laura Vallés. She's a great photographer and if you're interested in her work you can check out both of her pages: http://flickr.com/photos/lauravalvil and http://lauravalvil.carbonmade.com
-Merchandising is coming really soon. Trust us.
I think that's it for now, keep on checking our page for updates!
Take care,
Roberto

Hola!
Sé que hace muchisimo tiempo que no ponemos esto al día pero intenatremos arregrarlo dando MUCHAS noticias:
-Primero, nos gustaría comunicaros a todos que Dani ha vuelto al grupo! Después de volver a España para componer nuestro nuevo disco nos dimos cuenta de que necesitábamos un bajista que pudiera ensayar y componer con nosotros en todo momento. Para Nik era imposible hacerlo ya que el vive en Inglaterra así que le preguntamos a Dani si quería componer un disco con nosotros y dijo que SI!
Estamos muy contentos! Dicho esto, también queremos darle las gracias a Nik por ayudarnos tanto y desearle muchisma suerte con todos sus proyectos!
-Para celebrar la vuelta de Dani al grupo hemos decidido regalaros TODOS los temas que hay en nuestro reproductor DE FORMA GRATUITA.
-En estos momentos estamos componiendo nuestro disco y esperamos que pueda salir antes de que acabe el año. Creemos que las canciones que hemos compuesto hasta ahora son las mejores que hemos hecho nunca y esperamos que penseis lo mismo cuando las escucheis.
-No giraremos ni por España ni por Inglaterra hasta que el disco esté terminado ya que nos queremos centrar plenamente en su composición. Sin embargo si daremos algunos conciertos por España. De momento podemos confirmaros que estaremos tocando en Festimad y Universimad. Tenemos un par de fechas veraniegas en el aire que esperamos poder confirmar pronto. Una vez el disco esté terminado giraremos por España, Inglaterra y a lo mejor por Europa.
-Como podies ver, estamos subiendo fotos nuevas.Estas fueron tomadas por Laura Vallés, una gran fotógrafa a la que agradecemos desde aquí .Si estais interesados/as en su trabajo podeis visitar sus páginas web, http://flickr.com/photos/lauravalvil y http://lauravalvil.carbonmade.com.
-Vamos a tener merchandising disponible pronto. De verdad.
Creo que esto es todo por ahora, seguid visitando nuestra página para enteraros de las ultimas novedades!
Cuidaros,
Roberto

Hello everybody,
I just thought that I should let you all know what is happening with DOR at the moment as we've haven't posted lots of news lately, in part due to the fact that I still don't have access to the internet at home (I hope this problem will be solved soon).
Anyway...we came home in Christmas to spend some time with our friends and family and decided to stay here for a while.Don't get us wrong, we love the UK, but we really wanted to spend some time at home and relax after all that happened during our time over there. Not to mention the fact that we really missed that little flashy thing in the sky called Sun.
We also realized that we needed to write new songs, in fact, we need to write lots of them. We are constantly playing and we have barely practiced during the last two years , which coupled with the fact that we are pretty slow when it comes to writing means that we have been playing the same songs for a bit too long. Our plan for this year is to concentrate on writing as many new songs as we can so we can eventually release an album, which is something we would really love to do as soon as possible. We really think it's time for it and all of you deserve it!
The downside to all of this is that we won't be playing too many gigs or touring a lot this year. That doesn't mean we're NOT going to play, we WILL play some shows in the UK and also in Spain (where we haven't played for quite a long time now) and you will be the first to know when we're playing, so don't worry too much.
We don't really know how long it will ,take us to write the album (due to the fact that we've come to learn that EVERYTHING in this band is totally unpredictable), but we will keep you updated throughout the whole process!
Hope you are ok, thanks for your support and all of your messages and comments, you may not know it but they mean a lot to us 
Roberto

ESPAÑOL:
Hola a todos/as,
He pensado en poneros al dia sobre lo que está pasando con el grupo en estos momentos ya que ultimamente no hemos dado demasiadas noticias, en parte debido a que aún no tengo acceso a internet en mi casa (porque me acabo de mudar y aquí son lentos, no porque sea un troglodita.)
Volvimos a casa en Navidad para pasar un tiempo con nuestras familias y amigos y decidimos quedarnos un tiempo. No os equivoqueis, nos gusta Inglaterra, pero después de los dos años que hemos pasado allí necesitábamos algo de tiempo para relajarnos, por no hablar de volver a ver algo de lo que nos habíamos olvidado casi por completo...el sol.
También decidimos quedarnos debido a que nos dimos cuenta de que queremos empezar a componer mucho, cosas que, debido a la vida que hemos llevado durante los ultimos dos años, apenas hemos tenido tiempo de hacer. Nuestro plan para este año es centrarnos en componer muchisimo para así poder sacar un disco lo antes posible. Creemos que ya es hora de hacerlo y que todos los que nos venis siguiendo desde hace tiempo os lo mereceis!
Lo malo de todo esto es que no vamos a tocar demasiado en directo durante este año. Esto no quiere decir que no vayamos a dar ningún concierto, SI tocaremos, tanto en UK como en España (donde llevamos un buen tiempo sin tocar), pero serán fechas puntuales en vez de giras o conciertos frecuentes. De todas maneras, sereis los primeros/as en enteraros cuando vayamos a tocar.
No sabemos cuanto tardaremos en componer el disco (ya que, como muchos sabeis ya, TODO lo que tiene que ver con nosotros es totalmente impredecible), pero os mantendremos al dia durante todo el proceso.
Espero que todo vaya bien! Y muchas gracias por todos vuestros mensajes y comentarios, significan mucho para nosotros 
Roberto

Hey,
I'm posting the lyrics to both songs here just in case you can't see them from our player. I hope you like them, it would be amazing to see you sing along with us at our shows!
Phoenix Inc.
Lyrics by Oscar, music by Day Of Rising
I can remember
times I felt stable and whenever I would tremble
(could lean on you, the one I knew)
But now it feels like
like twice a lifetime and as distant as the skyline
(These words you said I won't forget)
I don't think that this will ever go back
to where we felt everything was fine but
I know the place where everything goes
is just where lies finally fall apart
Once you said we would not make it without
your help but you were not nearly right and
you pushed and tried but managed to prove
our time together belongs to past
Miles away, my eyes remained open as we crossed the rain
While running from the sunsets already missed and those we'll miss
I will try to keep them forever alive
Streets tonight are looking dark and holding memories out of sight
and you won't shine again to light ahead
but still we have our will and smile again, take it all out on yourself
I lost my bearings
to find a meaning to this fear and endless screaming
(I can't blame you, we all went through)
For all I know you've
got eyes that fancy all but they get fed up quickly
(Replace what's used with something new)
Olympia
Lyrics by Roberto, music by Day Of Rising
I'll make sure to keep on drawing our own lines
Promise you'll keep in mind I'll trade my youth for a lifetime
Youth for a lifetime
We're the ones who flip scripts
Just to be kept inside of your memories
Don't you see, you're paying for routine
We invest in dreams
Crowds were looking from a distance
On the day your summer missed us
You would pay to see this sinking
Still you send us your best wishes
Didn't you know...
Chorus:
When you're sleeping with the rest
We make plans to save ourselves
You know that I would try to explain if you could understand
(Just close my eyes for seconds)
No I'll never feel again
If this fails then it's the end
Of what I am, just a name - only with better stories to tell
(A chancer with no future)
I'll be a good reminder
Of all of your attempts to keep us from turning into
All that you wished but never believed in
We're the senseless kids but
You made the right choice
One that will keep you safe until
The day your predictions turn into failures
In this place where traitors are crossed by hope
And we feel our lives are slowly
Fading Away
(Chorus)

Hello everybody!
After a while without updating this, I thought it would be nice to let you all know what is happening with the band.
First of all, we just posted a new track called Olympia, we recorded this song as well as another new one (which we will post next week) and a new version of Bring Us Back 7AM; for those of you who don't know the song, it was the title track from our first EP, which we self-realeased in Spain quite a long ago. We recorded it again because we felt the sound quality on the old one was a bit poor. As a lot of people already bought the EP we are going to give this new version away for free, I'll post details of how to download it in the coming days 
By the way, we recorded our new songs at Ignition Studios in London with Lester Woodward, he's amazing we think everyone should record there because the studios rock (tell Lester we sent you so they might record us for free next time...or maybe not.)
There are also some sad news to tell: Dani, our bass player is leaving Day Of Rising. It's a decision he made a while ago and we totally respect it and will support him and wish him the best of luck with anything he does in the future.
At the moment we are looking for someone, we will tell everyone who the new member of the band is as soon as we know it!
We have some very cool gigs coming up and we will start adding more very soon, we hope to hit as many places as we can in the UK before the year ends so keep on cheking for new dates so you can come and hang out with us!
I'm off to sleep now, I swear I will try to update this more often...
Goodnight!
Roberto
